The Strong Beauty is a Goddess in Showbiz-Chapter 99 Jin Si, You Changed the Script

Jiang Xuxu was recollecting all of the things she knew of Qi Wu's debtholder.

The man she saw sitting in the backseat that morning was Jin Si.

After Jin Si's agency was established, he became even more independent. Even Chang Xun was sort of set free. Hence, if Chang Xun signed Qi Wu, did that not mean that Jin Si had signed her on as one of his talents?

In addition, when Qi Wu called Chang Xun previously, that familiar male voice at the end…was still Jin Si.

However, Jiang Xuxu did not rejoice for long because she suddenly remembered that Qi Wu's debtholder was a scumbag who treated her as a money-making tool.

She had no words.

The word 'scumbag' seemed quite out of place when Jin Si's noble and cold face was linked to it. However, one could never judge a book by its cover.

Jiang Xuxu was stuck in a dilemma.

Due to her mother's influence, she had actually watched all of Jin Si's movies before. There was nothing to nitpick about him. Although he did not have a friendly personality, he grew a fanbase because of his skills.

After all, no one in the entertainment industry was like him. He only acted in one movie a year, and every movie would land him a Best Leading Actor award.

Moreover, Qi Wu was baking him cookies

There had to be another side to the story.

Jiang Xuxu was so conflicted that she almost switched from being one of those fans who wanted their idols to stay alone forever to a shipper.

In the end, she decided to talk to her friends.

She sent a message to Ke Lu first.

Ke Lu: ?

Seeing that, Jiang Xuxu knew that Ke Lu was busy, so she quickly replied that she was fine and let her get back to her life.

After trying to talk to Ke Lu, Jiang Xuxu went to Tong Luo.

Jiang Xuxu: Tong Luo, what are you doing?

Tong Luo replied after a few minutes, stating that she was researching snacks.

Jiang Xuxu: ???

Tong Luo: In case Qi Wu asks me how to make them.

Jiang Xuxu: …

The case was solved.

Tong Luo taught Qi Wu how to bake.

Since Tong Luo taught her that, did it mean she already knew about the relationship between Qi Wu and Jin Si?

"Darn, Tong Luo really knows how to keep a secret," Jiang Xuxu muttered.

However, she relaxed after knowing that Tong Luo knew. This way, she didn't have to sit on pins and needles. Her next reply was sent with a cheerful grin.

Jiang Xuxu: I'll leave you to it. Don't worry. We're all in the same boat.

Tong Luo: ???

Not long after Jin Si hung up, Qi Wu's cookies were done.

He casually grabbed a cookie and took a sniff of its sweet scent. In a calm voice, he asked, "Was that a new friend you met on the show?"

Qi Wu, who was sitting opposite him, nodded.

Jin Si put the cookie into his mouth and playfully snorted. "She's as stupid as you are."

Qi Wu did not speak.

She just looked at him with cheeks puffed up in disagreement.

Jin Si was not affected at all and calmly enjoyed his delicious snack.

Then, a certain someone who claimed he did not like sweet stuff finished the plate of milk-scented cookies.

He didn't even leave a piece for Qi Wu.

However, Qi Wu did not mind. She made them for Jin Si. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝓸𝒎

After Jin Si finished eating, she demurely asked, "Can you rehearse with me now?"

After Jin Si was satiated, there was a lazy slant on his brows as his facial features became much gentler. He languidly nodded.

In "Dreamland," the one-minute segment that Qi Wu needed to perform was near the end of the plot. The girl's body gradually recovered as the dream healed her, but this meant that the boy in her dreams was about to disappear.

Naturally, the girl did not want the young man to disappear. She tried everything, even going against her treatment, but she was still unable to stop the young man from disappearing.

She begged him to stay, but right before the young man disappeared, he merely told her to live a good life.

Qi Wu was to play out that scene where she begged the boy.

The young girl's sorrow, her pleas, and her eyes filled with love were all meant to be shown through her face and actions.

She did not want her savior to leave her. Qi Wu had to act out that desperate denial and the longing to make him stay, even at the cost of her life.

When Jin Si found out that Qi Wu was going to act out "Dreamland," he read the script in advance.

He wasn't interested in this kind of script about love and healing. Rather, he had never thought of those emotions at all.

However, when Qi Wu's eyes turned red and she bit his lower lip, Jin Si froze.

He could see himself reflected in her misty eyes.

Her face was filled with indescribable sorrow. Her lips trembled as she suppressed the painful pleading that was on the tip of her tongue.

Her slender and fragile fingers clutched at the young man's clothes. It was a struggle, and the girl's red fingertips showed that she had used all her strength.

Her voice was already choked up. There was no way to suppress how hoarse she sounded. "Don't go, please."

Jin Si's heart skipped a beat.

The indescribable emotion he felt swelled from his heart to his limbs. He did not move, and his body was tense.

It was as if fireworks had exploded in his mind. His vision suddenly became blurry, but he could not forget the scene of Qi Wu pleading with him.

How could he leave?

Jin Si didn't even have time to react before he instinctively said, "I'm not leaving."

It was only when he saw Qi Wu's puzzled gaze that he realized that something was wrong. He carefully recalled the thoughts that had just appeared in his mind, but his mind was blank.

"Jin Si, you changed the script."

Qi Wu's eyes were still red, but her face was already back to its usual calm state as she solemnly complained about his refusal to work with her.

Jin Si did not speak.

For once, Jin Si did not immediately answer her.

He pursed his lips and did not explain anything. Instead, he said, "Let's start over."

The second time, Jin Si was barely able to restrain himself when he met Qi Wu's gaze. However, he was still unable to complete the scene with Qi Wu.

The third time, Jin Si felt like he was going crazy.

He simply couldn't stand to see Qi Wu looking at him in such a sorrowful and pleading manner.

She shouldn't have shown anyone such a look, even if it was just an act.

Pain, sadness, trouble, anything that would affect her happiness should be kept away from her.

"That's all. You're already in character."

Jin Si coldly said, but his cold tone was an attempt to hide the chaos that ruled his mind.

He did not know why he had lost control.

However, he knew that if this continued, he would get drawn into the role even if Qi Wu wasn't.

As Qi Wu had cried a few times, her eyes were as red as a rabbit's. She tilted her head and muttered in confusion, "How strange…"

Why was it that acting with Jin Si felt completely different from acting with others?

As long as she was looking at Jin Si, she seemed to be able to quickly immerse herself in the feelings of the character.

In the end, Qi Wu gave up trying to find out the reason as Jin Si fled.
